AA/AS in Business Administration, Management and Operations

Pierce College offers Applied Business as an Associate in Applied Science. The program centers on practical business skills for the workplace, and the college publishes it as a course map within its catalog. Instructors from the college designed the map as a guided path, listing the courses in a suggested order so that students can plan each term in advance. If a class is not offered when needed, students are advised to choose the closest suitable alternative in the sequence and ask for help from the support network. Graduation requires a minimum grade in all courses, and the plan totals ninety-four credits beginning with a college success course. The map serves as a planning guide only, so each student stays responsible for completing every requirement set by the college before graduating.
